The verdict is still out on MSI's C-series laptops, but with five models all starting at $550, the company definitely offers a variety of choices.
All five models sport a six-cell battery for portable productivity, 4GB of memory, a 320GB hard drive, gigabit ethernet for speedy networking, a card reader for digital camera media, and three USB ports.
From there, however, you have a choice of a 16-inch (1366-by-768-pixel resolution) or 17-inch (1600-by-900-pixel resolution) screen; a 2GHz or 2.1GHz Intel Dual Core processor; ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330 discrete graphics (excellent for gamers) or nVidia GeForce 8200M G integrated graphics (with HDMI-out, if you need to use an external HD display); and a standard DVD-RW optical drive or a Blu-ray drive for watching HD movies.
We haven't yet reviewed any of these laptops.
